X-Plane Fan Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just finished my first kits for 2011 and they're all eggplanes. Never one to build something right out of the box, here's my Blackbird fleet. First up, the A-12 Then the YF-12A... M/D-21... SR-71A... SR-71B... The whole fleet... Special thanks go to my good friend David Newman at Muroc Models for assisting with decals and resin casting to create the D-21. Now, if I could just locate a few more kits so I can finish the series.... Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flyftrs Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 You lucky skunk, you Six Blackbirds and there are many people out there trying their damdest to get their paws on just one. I'm one of 'em.......and still looking and trying without luck. I'm still scratching my head and wondering why Hase did not re-release the Blackbird eggplane last time around. Anyway, these are very nice builds, Tony. Eggplanes makes for an enjoyable build, are cute, puts smiles on many faces and best of all, there are no accuracy issues to worry about. Model on!

ST0RM Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Fanstastic builds Tony. The imagination you put into them, really shows up well. I think the A-12 is my favorite. Thanks for posting. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Plane Fan Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've had them in the stash for a long time. Hasegawa has a link on their web site for suggesting their next kits, I've sent in more than one request for the SR-71 egg to be re-released. Here's the link: http://hasegawausa.com/suggest-a-model.html If they get enough votes, maybe they'll actually listen.

Aggressor Supporter Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 :lol: Eggplanes always put a smile on my face. These SR-71 Blackbirds are all great, especially the modifications you did to some of them. Big B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
